- beaconstudios 5y agoLabour is not the same thing as work.
- bryanrasmussen 5y agoIt is however a closely linked synonym.
- beaconstudios 5y agoLabour is doing productive things, work is employment. Antiwork and other related things like "the abolition of work" by Bob Black are against wage labour and capitalist exploitation moreso than the need to do things to keep the world turning.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoDo they offer any alternative? I'm all for payment shifting from 'buts in seats' to 'paid for productivity' if there's proper allowance for taking time for quality, but somehow that doesn't seem the kind of direction people are thinking in.
- beaconstudios 5y ago"paid for productivity" is not on the table for anarchists because it's still capitalism and anarchists are anti capitalist.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoExcept the AnCaps, but I predict they'll split with the Randians any day now and drop off the map.
- beaconstudios 5y agoMost anarchists don't recognise anarchocapitalism as a legitimate form of anarchism because anarchism is against coercive hierarchy and capitalism is inherently coercive. Plus a real life ancapistan would inevitably devolve into feudalism. Also a lot of them are Hoppeans and that just makes them authoritarians.
- _oghd 5y agocollective ownership is the alternative. abolition of private property. it's the core idea of anarchist and anti-capitalist thought.
- iratewizard 5y agoCollectively owning nothing and creating a power vacuum that will be filled by violent psychopaths. We all saw how Chaz went.
- LesZedCB 5y agoLOL chaz, really? try harder. if you want to read about how anarchists want to restructure society, read about spain's 1936 revolution.
- Apocryphon 5y agoOr heck, just about Spain's Mondragon Corporation.
- matheusmoreira 5y agoHopefully capitalism will one day automate everything to the point no labor is necessary and society will evolve into post scarcity rather than communism.
